This app is an odd bird. I can't figure out what it does and how. It just keeps asking me for another image. I guess you take a couple identical photos and blend them together or something strange like that. Who the heck has multiple shots of the very same thing but in different settings, besides a professional picture guy. Small market and 99.00, yikes.

Photomatix is fantastic! - jerash1
Want to turn an otherwise average photograph into one that will "stop traffic?" Then get PHOTOMATIX PRO.I have used PHOTOMATIX PRO for several months, and have found it to be one of the best tools to come along in many, many years. As for its learning curve: to acquire a working understanding of its features: 15 minutes should be more than enough.

If I was in a bad mood - ZX81
If I was in a bad mood I would say this review is an excellent review of the reviewer, but spring has come and the birds are singing, so I'll just say "think before you post", try to understand what this app is about and you will notice it is very helpful and clerverly done.And YES, it is about blending different shot and about bracketing...

Bird is a word - Martin Turner--2008
Most digital SLRs have an auto-bracket function to take three or more pictures in a row at different exposures. If you are shooting landscapes, which is when you would most commonly want to use HDR, you would typically have the camera on a tripod for this.You can also get it to work on a single raw image, though see below.
The price on this application seems actually quite low for professional software. Photography is an expensive game, and this comes in at less than the price of a 77mm 1A Filter, which does little more than protect the lens.
I've spent most of the evening comparing this application with tricks in Photoshop and with Nikon Capture NX. What it does with, say, a single Raw image, cannot be achieved in Photoshop, even by opening a Raw image at differing exposures and trying to combine them in HDR.
However, better results can be obtained with Capture NX for not much work. The demosaicing of Nikon Raw files on Photomatix seems to introduce far more noise than Nikon's or Adobe's converters, so, right now, it produces pictures which are dynamically astonishing, but look very noisy, as if the noise has been sharpened.
